Keowee-Toxaway State Park


Date: Sunday, October 17, 2010
Map: Link
Trails: Natural Bridge
Distance: 1.5 miles
Time: 30 minutes
Rating: 3 out of 5

On a cool fall afternoon, I decided to do a quick hike while the kids were napping / having quiet time. The leaves are just on the verge of changing colors. It was a nice drive up Hwy 133 to the park.

I arrived about 2:40pm (it is only a 30 minute drive) and started on the Natural Bridge loop trail from the parking lot. I saw a couple of other groups, but it was definitely not crowded on the trail. I took the loop in a clockwise direction, which allows you to take the steepest part of the trail going downhill rather than uphill.

I got back to the car in only 30 minutes! I wasn't trying to race through the trail, but I kept a pretty quick pace, and only stopped for a couple of minutes at the river crossing. A nice hike overall.
